FAQs
Can I use this on a vehicle with a Push-to-Start button?
No, the EVO-CHRT5 is designed exclusively for vehicles that use a standard metal key.
Does this include a remote control?
The EVO-CHRT5 is an interface module; it does not come with remotes, but allows you to add remote start functionality to your vehicle.
What if my car is not listed in the compatibility guide?
The system is vehicle-specific. Please verify your vehicle's exact make, model, and year against the compatibility list before installation.
How do I update the firmware?
You can update the firmware by connecting the module to a computer using a Fortin flash link updater cable.
Are the LEDs on the module used for anything other than setup?
Yes, they provide real-time status updates and diagnostic codes if the system encounters a fault during daily operation.
Troubleshooting
System fails to enter programming mode
Verify that the 20-pin harness is fully seated and check the power and ground connections at the ignition plug.
Module LEDs flashing red
This indicates a communication error. Unplug the module, verify the vehicle ignition is in the correct state, and re-attempt the self-learning sequence.
Vehicle does not start after successful programming
Ensure the key is in the ignition and turned to the appropriate position during the learning phase, and check that the CAN-bus wires are not swapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation begins by connecting the factory-fit T-harness to the vehicle's ignition switch assembly and plugging the 20-pin harness into the EVO-ALL module. Ensure the vehicle is confirmed to use a standard metal key before starting, as this system cannot emulate proximity keys. To maintain the system, ensure all harness connections are secure and zip-tied away from moving parts or steering column components. Periodic firmware updates via a PC connection may be required to maintain compatibility as new vehicle software updates are released by the manufacturer.
